In 1995 Gray's Reef initiated a long
term monitoring assessment of its natural resources. The
monitoring program encompasses the following resources and
topics of concern determined to be of significant importance
to GRNMS during the planning of the designation and
subsequent establishment of the management and research
studies plan; Fish populations, benthic invertebrates,
oceanographic conditions, sediment transport and visitor
use. (photo: Grays Reef NMS)
